On the cover of the Rolling Stone this month? Mitt Romney, as shredded by Matt Taibbi. Long story short: "what most voters don't know is the way Mitt Romney actually made his fortune: by borrowing vast sums of money that other people were forced to pay back...Mitt Romney is one of the greatest and most irresponsible debt creators of all time." Plus, he's gotten a lot of handouts from big government.
Republicans begin second night of convention with long video tribute to Ron Paul. It must have been very hard for Republicans to celebrate a man who scolded Chris Wallace, told Rudy Giuliani to read a book, and repeatedly brought up the CIA's role in toppling Iran's last democratically-elected leader back in 1953. Oh, wait, I forgot: these are Republicans, for whom no memory is too precious to discard.
Texas redistricting plan fails to get pre-clearance from federal government; three-judge panel finds overwhelming evidence of "discriminatory intent," apparently including Rep. Lamar Smith's attempt to get a country club moved out of a Hispanic district and into his own. And not by actually moving it, of course.
